Does anybody cut there own? I have some older firestones that have 95% tread, would like to cut them about half way down and taper them back. Can you use a wood planer or something similar? Could grind but that's a lot to grind. Thanks

Iv used a wood planner to clean up some uneven poor shape tires on a few of my tractors before but never to top cut tires for pulling. But I'm sure it would work the same.

Old school, good thin sharp butcher knife dipped in diesel fuel and some elbow grease. Cut a tire in 2hrs ,sharpen after a few bars. Crude by today's standards but very effective .
